Job description

Are you a Platform or Cloud Engineer who loves ownership, modern tech, and actually seeing the impact of your work?

This is a chance to join a small, high-impact Cloud Infrastructure team inside a fast-growing, tech-first financial services organisation. You'll be responsible for running, scaling and improving the cloud platforms that power real, customer-facing products used by hundreds of thousands of people every day.

What you'll be working on

  • AWS-based environments supporting mission-critical, customer-facing applications
  • Kubernetes (EKS) clusters in production
  • Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
  • Highly available, scalable platforms used for current accounts and investment products
  • Secrets and access management (Vault exposure a bonus)

Requirements

  • AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, Load Balancers, Lambda, API Gateways)
  • Kubernetes (EKS) - real production experience
  • Terraform (hands-on, not just running other people's modules)

Nice to have

  • HashiCorp Vault
  • Helm, Karpenter, KEDA, Linkerd or Istio

What they're looking for

  • 3-5+ years of experience in Cloud / Platform / DevOps engineering
  • Strong Kubernetes exposure in production environments
  • Confidence owning infrastructure and driving improvements
  • Someone who enjoys autonomy, collaboration, and problem-solving
  • Financial services experience is nice, but not required
